We are a very friendly group with up to 20 taking part on walks. We offer:

  • Walks twice a month: this is on the first and third Tuesday of the month.
  • Walks ranging from 4 to 7 miles with the length and terrain clearly stated in the programme.
  • Where stated, dogs on leads are allowed and welcome.
  • The walks vary from local to further afield. We car share so those who do not drive are able to participate.
  • When car-sharing, a travel donation is given to the driver and depends on the distance travelled to the start of the walk. This will be stated in the programme.
  • Occasionally we will do a walk using public transport.
  • We meet at the Council offices, Parton Road to car share. If you prefer you can drive direct to the starting point but, let the leader know so that we can expect you and wait for you if necessary.
  • We stop regularly to enjoy the surroundings we are walking in and to allow everyone to keep together.
  • A stop for coffee is scheduled into the walk so please bring a drink with you. An optional pub lunch rounds off most walks!
  • Of course, sensible clothing and footwear for the conditions are required.
